Hi all, I have created a web site setup project in Visual Studio 2010. For this msi to work with IIS 7+, the IIS 6 metabase and compatibility mode must be switched on. Does any know is there a visual studio template for a web site setup project that will work
with IIS 7 with out turning on the IIS 6 compatibility mode. Alternatively is there any way around this problem with the default web site setup project. Thanks in advance
Cheers for response. I have no problem installing the IIS 6 Metabase, just wanted to make sure there is no other work around other than that when I go explaining it to my boss ;-) Thanks

Hi,
Visual Studio 2010 web setup project still only targets older IIS versions. This is why the compatibility features are required.
What happened was IIS 7.* moved many settings from the core metabase to per-application and applicationhost configuration files.
I am sure the IIS team is working on this but it is still an issue for us too.
Is there a request you can't isntall the IIS 6 metabase and compatibility features?
